Injured midfielder Naby Keita tore off his recovery pad to celebrate Liverpool’s stunning win over Barcelona on Tuesday night.
The Reds overturned a three-goal deficit from the first leg of their Champions League semi-final to beat the La Liga giants 4-0 at Anfield.
The result will go down as one of the greatest comebacks in European history as Lionel Messi and Co were stunned by goals from Divock Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum.
Keita, who was forced off with a groin injury during last week’s first leg at Camp Nou, shared an Instagram story of himself screaming with joy as he ripped off his recovery pad.
The Guinean has been ruled out for two months and will miss the Champions League final against Tottenham or Ajax. He is also a huge doubt for his country’s Africa Cup of Nations campaign this summer.
His setback came as a blow to Jurgen Klopp’s side as the 24-year-old was beginning to find his feet in England after his £52million move from RB Leipzig, netting three goals in six games.
